Conceptually I care about IP (intellectual property). At heart, though, I'm a pretty "open source" guy: I like transparency.

So I'ven't really been following the Apple versus Samsung trial. I use "smart" phones, but it's not a hot topic for me. I only use an Android because I can access my personal email easily (Thus, I don't have to worry about my employer's restrictions on personal email access during the day).

(BTW, when I looked around, I found that the concept of "trial by jury" is more common in legal systems based on English concepts of law. The concept doesn't exist in some countries. Becoming less common in others. Becoming more common in elsewhere.)

I've never served (yet) on a jury, although my wife has. So I've got some curiosity of what might happen "if my number is called". Could happen; I rarely miss an election.

I read the article with interest. As I took some graduate courses in Bayesian statistics, I knew the concept of weighing evidence has a checkered history in the legal system.

FRANKLY, it's not a wholly satisfying article (as one commenter notes). However, the unique perspective makes it worth reading.
